    What’s wrong with society for this to happen? Are Americans illiterate?

      This has nothing to do with Americans, they can’t even sign the petition

          You only seem to care about the fact that this is a video, not about the petition at all.

          It’s a guy with a video platform making a video aimed at Europeans for a European initiative, and you’re calling Americans illiterate as a result?

            This is like saying people making videos about Palestine conflict are aiming at the Palestine people. People can care about stuff that doesn’t affect their country directly. You have to be a 12 year old for this to be news.

      I’m reading these comments while listening to an entirely different video essay. There’s a time, place, and use for various types of media.

      Well if everything else that’s been said wasn’t good enough for you, let me point out another angle. He’s giving an impassioned speech. It is a much more expressive format to convey emotion, which is important when trying to rally a call to action.

      I don’t think speeches are a sign of something wrong with society. People have always given speeches. Doing that in the format of speaking vocally is hardly a new concept.
